The Birth House

I don't know if you American gals have heard of this book, but it's pretty big here in Canada.
It's set in rural Nova Scotia, around the time of the first World War. It pits Dora, a new young midwife, against a doctor who wants to bring a birthing hospital to the area.
It's a beautiful book, to read and to look at.
The author has an interesting website about it.
My monthly bookclub discussed it last night, and I got signed bookplates from the author for everyone, and made a recipe for groaning cake from the book. Needless to say, I was a hit!
